My first thought was 'OH NO' a halo anime please dont kill the game i love and enjoy playing so much, but since microsoft has the $$$ to grab who they want to make a good anime and from the trailer/preveiws ive seen its looks to be quite a mint anime and i have animatrix and enjoyed that to the teeth so inlight of this news im actually ampped to see it and will defitny buy the dvds when released
